Homologue Series Detection and Management in LC-MS data with homologueDiscoverer
SummaryUntargeted metabolomics data analysis is highly labor intensive and can be severely frustrated by both experimental noise and redundant features. Homologous polymer series are a particular case of features that can either represent large numbers of noise features, or alternatively represent features of interest with large peak redundancy. Here we present homologueDiscoverer, an R package which allows for the targeted and untargeted detection of homologue series as well as their evaluation and management using interactive plots and simple local database functionalities.
